ECu2+|Cu0=+0.34 V
EZn2+|Zn0=0.76 V
Identify the incorrect statement from the options below for the above cell:

Question diagram: E Cu 2 + | Cu 0 = + 0 .34 V E Zn 2 + | Zn 0 = − 0 .76 V Iden

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Ecell=ECu2+CuEZn2+Zn=1.1V

So If E=1.1V no electron will flow

At E>1.1 V cell act as electrolytic cell and electron will flow from Cu to Zn.

At E<1.1 V cell act as electrochemical so Zn dissolve and Cu deposit.
